The FMC163 provides one 12-bit A/D channel at 4Gsps (or dual-channel at 2Gsps) and one 14-bit D/A channel at 5.7Gsps (2.85Gsps direct RF synthesis) clocked by either an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference) or an externally supplied sample clock. The FMC163 daughter card is mechanically and electrically compliant to the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1).

The FMC163 design is based on Texas Instruments’ ADC12D2000RF Analog-to-Digital converter and Analog Devices’ AD9129 Digital-to-Analog converter. The analog signals are AC-coupled, connecting to MMCX or SSMC coax connectors on the front panel.

The FMC163 is well-suited for low-power applications such as those in aerospace where the highest level of performance is required while ensuring that mission range is not affected.
